2018 Photo Project | Jan - Dec
/ Becki Williams Photography/ Rebecca WilliamsThe year is complete and so is the 2018 Photo Project!
I cannot believe I made it a whole year. Seriously. I went into this project full of doubt, thinking that maybe i’ll just last a few months and give up. But here I am. 12 months worth of photos from the last year.
It has definitely turned out different than I expected.
I thought there would be more photos with my main camera, but actually the majority were taken with my phone. And to be honest I don’t even mind because each still comes with its memory from the last year.
Was it really a year ago that I sat in front of the Christmas tree in January playing around with light trails?
The macaron making class I did with my husband where the snow was so bad that the pipes froze.
The photo of the dogs where Jess refused to look at the camera - I gave that to mum for mothers day and it’s now on her windowsill.
Spring came and turned into one of the warmest summers I remember with long, lazy days in the garden with a Spaniel who wasn’t quite sure what to make of it all.
Croatia, Rome & Majorca - three holidays in three months before coming back to Autumn with a bump on October.
And now here we are again. Christmas. We’re back where we started.
And am I ready to go again? I actually think I am! There will be a 2019 photo project…..and I have no idea where it will take me.
Let’s get started!
Being a portrait photographer means I get to photograph lots of important stages in people’s lives, and Maternity Photo Shoots are always particularly lovely.
Pregnancy can bring plenty of highs and lows, lots of anticipation and, understandably, sometimes a few worries too.
Today, I want to share a little more about why you might choose to book a maternity photo shoot and the best time to plan one.
It feels like only yesterday I was photographing Roman at his Newborn Photo Shoot and now he’s turning one!
It’s always a pleasure to photograph this lovely family (something I’ve been doing for many years now) so when they booked a Birthday Photo Shoot for Roman I was very excited.
I’ve been a Milton Keynes Newborn Photographer for over 10 years and have seen every single type of older sibling there is.
No matter their age or how they feel about the new arrival, there are lots of tips and tricks to get the sibling photos you dream of.
When the stars align and you get both an asleep and awake baby at different stages of your newborn photo shoot, the result is the perfect combination of positioned, angelic sleepiness and newborn sass!
I always say ‘your baby is the boss’ and I mean it.
I have been photographing this lovely family ever since their oldest girl was a newborn baby, which absolutely blows my mind!
Families coming back to me year after year is not only an amazing part of my job but is also incredibly touching because it means someone is willing to trust me with capturing their family’s memories over and over again.
So when Theo’s mum got in touch to tell me she was pregnant again I booked them straight away and the countdown began!

Sometimes a newborn walks (well…is carried) in the studio and I am blown away by their hair. This was very much one of those occasions!
